Weather permitting (and the forecast looks promising) the first practice of the year will take place at 6pm at Duthie Park. Come along and learn how to field like Jimmy A and drop like Jimmy A!!

Players old and new are encouraged to attend and all will be made welcome regardless of ability. The first game is not far away now so if you want to get your name on the MVP trophy (or just not ship too much coinage in dropped catch fines) we'll see you there.......

Whilst the county champions are playing with their pink balls in Abu Dhabi, heavy rain and snow have forced the likely cancellation of our first outdoor practice due this Wednesday. Watch your phones for any late updates but barring a miracle and lots of sunshine practice will be off until next week. Blame Bill Giles.

The clocks go forward this weekend, and that can mean only one thing - it's time for the sleeping leviathan that is Portcullis CC to shake off its winter slumbers and emerge blinking into the light. Or something like that.

Anyway - outdoor practice starts next Wednesday (31st March) on the plastic wicket in Duthie Park at 6pm sharp. Practice sessions will be managed by our newly qualified coach, Dave Elrick, so be prepared to work up a bit of a sweat!

Any prospective new players are welcome to attend and join in - just come over and introduce yourself. We don't bite.

The final indoor net session will be at Sheddocksley this Sunday at 12.00 noon until 2.00pm.

Regular outdoor practice sessions will be held every Wednesday evening from 6pm on the plastic wicket in Duthie Park. The first one will be on 31st March, and they will run through to the end of the season.

We managed to get 8 players to Nairn for this friendly. The weather was good being sunny all the while we were playing.

We had our ex captain D Bowie playing for us and two others from Nairn to make up the team.

A. Dobey won the toss and put Nairn in to bat. It was agreed that any player who made thirty would walk and any player out for a duck would get a second chance. Bowling woud be 4 overs per man on each side with a maximum of 8 overs.
